Connect & Learn: RIE Parenting Class Playgroups for Babies (ages 8 wks – 2.5 years)

Join Raquel Tara, early childhood specialist, for weekly observational play centred classes. Witness your baby’s development, ask questions, and connect with like-minded parents. Rooted in the RIE philosophy, these classes offer insights into your baby’s world, expert guidance, and a supportive community (the same group stay and grows together until 2.5 years).  

In RIE parenting classes, you let your child be a natural learner and initiator from birth:  

Overstimulating, messy sensory classes will entertain your baby. But is that what you really want? Or is self initiated play the goal? Parents tell me that before they join RIE parent infant classes they felt responsible for ‘entertaining their baby’. That their baby was always ‘bored’. And cries when they leave the room.

In RIE play centred RIE parent infant classes, parents learn to support self-directed play. 

This frees them up to find a balance between being with their baby and having time for themselves — which is such an important aspect of cultivating a healthy relationship with your child. RIE parent Infant classes foster a young baby’s natural curiosity, creativity, and independent exploration avoiding a future of bored, entertainment-seeking children. 
Classes are currently available in Ballina & Burleigh Heads. 

Empower your parenting journey with RIE Parenting education classes.

RIE Parenting classes connect you with other parents, equip you with tools and strategies, and boost your confidence as you observe all your baby is doing. Get support, share experiences, and learn from early childhood experts.
